Hellzapoppin is the world's greatest international touring rock-n-roll circus sideshow thrill-show extravaganza where some of the most deadliest stunts in live entertainment are performed before a live audience. This vaudeville freak show of wonder features LIVE stunts like: Fire eating & Fire Breathing, Magic and Illusions, Glass Walking, Crossbow Artistry, The Human Block-Head, Knife Throwing, Acrobatic Stunts, Sword Swallowing, Human Oddities & Curiosities plus a hell of a lot more!

This vaudeville freak show of wonder is brought to you by Hellzapoppin's Ringleader and Producer, Mr. Bryce "The Govna" Graves. Brothers and sisters, you are about to meet a cavalcade of human curiosities the likes of which you've never seen before. I, The Govna, will be your shepherd and your guide on a journey of miraculous discovery through the world of the strange, the odd, the bizarre, the macabre and where the most unusual people entertain.

We're mavericks, trailblazers, rebels, rule breakers, outlaws — true uninhibited artists. We deliver our message through the Hellzapoppin Sideshow Revue and fuel our art through passion. Named after the most successful Broadway musical and movie from the late 30's and 40's, Hellzapoppin is a world-renowned theatrical circus thrill show where some of the deadliest stunts in live entertainment are performed to loud, crowd-pleasing musical tracks. On this tour, I will be unveiling the brand new Hellzapoppin! I've spent the past year rebuilding and redesigning the entire show from top to bottom, so get ready to face your fears!

You'll witness with your own eyes the world's most amazing half-man: Mr. Short E. Dangerously. You read that right — this tiny daredevil is half of a man! He’s cut in half at the waist and walks bare-handed on broken shards of glass while on fire. Shorty has been featured in 2 of Ripley's Believe It Or Not books! There are also wax figures of Shorty in Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museums all over the world, and he was featured on Ripley's brand new international TV show. You may have also even seen him on AMC's Freakshow!

You'll see the world renowned America’s Got Talent Champion Crossbow artist Mr. Ben Blaque at Hellzapoppin. Ben performs death-defying stunts right before your very eyes, live on stage. Ben Blaque established himself as the world's foremost master of the crossbow after appearing multiple times on America's Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent. His “Danger Act” was one of the “Judges' Favorites”, which propelled him into the quarterfinals, where he returned at the request of Howard Stern for the "Wild Card Show.” He has performed on international TV, including the NBC show "I Can Do That" and Argentina's "Susana Gimenez,” as well as the best-selling magic show in Broadway history, The Illusionists! Ben appeared as "The Weapon Master" touring across America, Australia, Europe, South America, and now he is ready to show you his skills with Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow Revue!

Who is the lovely sideshow starlet in this all-star revue you ask? Well, none other than the mysterious, sultry, and spellbinding fabulous woman of enchantment: Ms. Willow Lauren! Beautiful beyond desire and cruel beyond words, Willow is a former motorcycle stunt rider turned international touring sideshow stunt-woman. She is also an aspiring illusionist and aerialist. Willow performs the contortion blade box of death! She not only eats fire, but she also eats and regurgitates razor blades, and she'll even swallow a lifesaver down her throat and will pull it out of her neck before your very eyes! You will see Willow all throughout the show, because in addition to performing her incredible stunts, she also assists many of the other performers on their life-threatening performances. Willow is a true daredevil, and she is five times more likely to be injured on the show than any other performer. She performs death-defying stunts as an assistant with the legendary Ben Blaque, who will attempt to shoot crossbow arrows around her body live on stage. And if that doesn't toot your horn, you should see when I throw razor sharp knives around her!

At Hellzapoppin, you'll get to see the Classic American Circus & Sideshow artist, known in the modern day as The Chairman of Cheers, The Clown Prince, The Royal Rouge of Sideshow. MeeZee hails from the “Golden State,'' right next to the Golden Gate! Specializing in the daredevil balancing art of chair stacking. MeeZee is a truly undeniable stage presence. He will show off his mesmerizing rhythm, character nuance, dazzling displays of strength, and balance! The Golden State’s Golden Boy is truly one of a kind! The Chairman of Cheers puts himself in perilous positions with precarious objects! How many chairs will he stack? How high will he go? Impeccable balance at death-defying heights!

In my book, this next man is among the best up-and-coming sideshow artists in the world today! I am very proud to introduce Mr. Auzzy Blood on his first ever tour with Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow Revue. Auzzy is coming straight from Cirque Du Soleil in Las Vegas and will be performing sword swallowing, eye socket weightlifting, the art of FAKIR, and of course his signature stunt where he takes a giant cork screw and drives it right through his face. This stunt is a demonstration of mind over matter and with no blood and no pain!

Last but not least, you'll see one of the world's very best crowd pleasing Yo-Yo artist, Mr. Derek Dirty D Hurricane the YoYo Guy Cockrum!

Derek will blow your mind and steal the show with his amazing incredible and unbelievable YoYo tricks!
